The odyssey of 4 years

The journey in GTBIt began in august 2004 as a stopgap arrangement of one year to be used as a backup if I failed to clear jee next year or was unsuccessful in joining army. And as life would have it neither was i successful in joining the armed forces nor did i ever appear for jee 2005.So here I was stuck once more with en engineering degree which I was never able to love, a college which i disliked from day one but which gradually became the epicentre of my life, a place which over the course of time became so integral to my life that I even after one year I have still not moved on with life.

The studies never interested me nor did the teachers then what was the attraction of going to college. Just 2 words 'friends' n 'DLC'. The former is a well known fact while the latter was a close guarded secret , a society which I despised from the day I auditioned for it . The society which others believe I hated as it seemed to be at loggerheads with my opinions but frankly the reason is far more personal maybe i feared what it had shown to me. Ok whatever the reason i won't share it but ya DLC was a pivotal reason for my survival in GTBIT. From Joban sir to Harry n all the rest of amputated literary members u guys taught me to live life fully n for this I love u all n for nothing else. I also had the privelege to meet a few courtesy DLC who have been the flame of inspiration as far as shayaari is concerned n ya the criticism i made of dlc was essentially the only way through which i could show my affection towards the society , thats the way I treat people whom i like.

Now coming to my favourite category my friends to whom this post is dedicated . If i try mentioning their names the post shall become boring because except for one foe the entire batch was a friend but ya i will mention anuj as he is the one who suggested me this topic.It was this group which was responsible for all the fun I ever had in my life post St. John's. Even today as i ponder sitting alone in this room amidst the rustling of leaves all the days we spent at OTTIC, in the parking lot n the night out's at ankit n rane's house n the free movies we saw courtesy Keshav I find that the memories alone are enough to motivate me to survive these struggling times. The pilgrimage to Vaishno Devi n amritsar laid the foundation of our friendship n probably is the root cause for our uncorrupted bonds.

I might not have joined Infosys but i still dream about the football matches we played together n the ones i would have played at Mysore with tt n ankit . I guess it is almost one year since we left college but unfortunately I still miss u all be it the opinions of a drunk Udit wherein he is rebuking me for failing in FMS or the frank chats with Rahul .I still cherish the last prac wherein rana , kapil n anuj had drowned themselves in Scotch n then attended the practicals . The Hemkunt Sahib journey with Karir will remain forever etched in my mind n yo man we'll go this time too if the almighty allows. The unending arguments with sup and tapsie were also a joy as was the never say no attitude of pinak.

The memories are unending n i have still not mentioned the person who is the History channel. However times have changed n however much we might desire to hold onto those memories the truth is the 4 years are bygone , the memories are slowly fading . Everyone is treading a new path one which has taken u all to the streets of San diego,San jose, new york, florida , bangalore n ya luckily chandigarh too. Their are others who are still fighting it out in Delhi n may God bless them with all the happiness n success in life. A day might come when we shalll meet probably our convocation if it ever happens but ya i am greatful to all of you for your support n hopefully i'll meet new people who will help me forget my college .

I have missed out on a lot of experiences its your duty now to fulfill the gaps in this post.
